About the SEC Thailand
The Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand
is an independent regulator established according to the Securities and
Exchange Act B.E. 2535 on 16 May 1992. The SEC Thailand has the centralized
roles for supervision and development of both primary and secondary markets.
This structure also facilitated issuance of new financial instruments and put
in place effective regulations to ensure compliance, fairness, and prevent
exploitation of stakeholders. As the market became more developed, new products
were introduced and three laws were promulgated to support continuing
development of instruments and transactions, namely the Derivatives Act B.E.
2546 (2003), the Trust for Transactions in Capital Market B.E. 2550 (2007), the
Emergency Decree on Digital Asset Businesses B.E.2561 (2018), respectively.
The SEC Thailand has been
an active ordinary member since 1992 and a signatory to the IOSCO MMoU. As an
ordinary member, the SEC Thailand is a member of the Presidents’ Committee, the
Growth and Emerging Markets Committee (GEMC), and the Asia-Pacific Regional
Committee (APRC). The SEC Thailand has also participated in several IOSCO’s
working groups. The SEC Thailand was elected Chairman of the IOSCO APRC
Committee during 2005-2008. This reflects the significance of the Thai capital
market in the region as well as the recognition of the SEC Thailand’s
international roles and collaboration for sharing of information, opinions, and
experiences in different areas.
